2-[1-PIPERAZINYL]QUINOLINE MALEATE SALT

Selective 5-HT-3 receptor agonist

Quipazine maleate salt has been used as a serotonin receptor agonist to study its effects on mouse models with spinal cord injury. It has also been used as a serotonin receptor agonist to study its effects on the locomotion of zebrafish.

Quipazine is a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist. Quipazine increases renin release by a peripheral hemodynamic mechanism.

Selective 5-HT 3 receptor agonist. Also displays antagonist activity at peripheral 5-HT 3 receptors. [ 3 H]-Quipazine labels 5-HT 3 sites in the cortical membranes.

Quipazine belongs to the class of psychedelics and acts as a serotonin/5-hydroxytryptamine-2A/C receptor agonist. It also acts as an inhibitor of prolactin.
